Just to be clear here, my tweet was referring to devs in the Windows Central article saying SSD and CPU matter the most in the next-gen jump. It's true, this is the significant part of the next-gen. GPU performance will still matter a lot too, of course. On paper, the XSX looks like the more powerful console, but we won't know until we see what devs are optimizing for on both. Will be interesting to see what devs do to utilize the increased speeds of the PS5 SSD, but you're still ultimately using a GPU to render frames not an SSD.
I've been saying for a long time that if Lockhart has the CPU and SSD improvements of XSX then there's no reason it will negatively impact next-gen game development. Interested to see how game devs react to it when they see the specs.
